From the first day he arrived, those who knew a little about his background treated him with great respect.
Even those who don't know where he comes from will naturally take him seriously when they see how the higher-ups treat him.
When he came to Shangwan Village to work as an educated youth, although the people at the brigade headquarters were not qualified to know his identity, they still treated him with courtesy.
Although he wasn't particularly enthusiastic, he was perceptive enough to discern the attitudes of the surrounding production teams towards the educated youth.
This difference in attitude reassured him.
Although, for him, being treated with courtesy by a production team leader was an insult.
But this is a signal.
This means his secret has not yet been exposed.
His grandmother has no idea about the awful things he's done.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be receiving re-education here; instead, he would be thrown into his brother's army, facing certain death, endless cycles of death and rebirth.
Thinking about what I've experienced before.
The fifth strongest shuddered again.
Sitting in the back, Su Jiaqi sensed the change in the fifth strongest candidate, and the tension and anxiety in her heart finally dissipated.
She even caused him to fall into a ditch, and he can still laugh.
It seems that I've finally won this man over!
The fifth-place finisher, who was diligently cycling, had no idea what Su Jiaqi was imagining.
He's riding his bike while thinking about things.
In the past two days, the attitudes of the brigade leader and the brigade party secretary have not changed significantly.
But there was a slight change in his gaze.
Although it was very slight, it's unclear what caused this change—whether they were trying to hide something, or whether they themselves didn't know much about it.
Or perhaps I'm just being overly sensitive, suspecting someone of stealing an axe.
We have no idea.
He didn't like this feeling of uncertainty.
So he needs to confirm.
We need to find out whether they don't know either, or they are trying their best to hide it.
Or something else.
If something happens, these people will simply follow the example set by their superiors, and he will be able to see how much the commune's attitude towards him has changed.
That's why this disturbance happened.
He just wanted to find an excuse to go to the commune.
As for what he said to Su Jiaqi, it was just to fool idiots!
And so, Fifth Strong brought Su Jiaqi, whom he thought was a fool, to the commune.
Amidst the envious, jealous, and resentful gazes of many.
I rode my bike directly into the government compound.
When the old man at the gate saw these people, he stood up and sat down again.
The outstretched hand was withdrawn.
He opened his mouth to speak, but then closed it again.
Continue drinking tea and reading the newspaper.
After the four people got out of the car, Fifth Qiang grabbed one of them at random and asked, "Comrade, is Secretary Xiao here?"
The man didn't recognize Wu Qiang, but he wasn't too upset about being stopped. He just sounded a little impatient: "You're looking for Secretary Xiao? Well, unfortunately, Secretary Xiao is on an inspection tour in the countryside. I don't know when he'll be back! Just wait!"
After saying that, he turned around and left.
No trace of the fifth strongest man's sinister intentions was discovered.
So, you finally couldn't hide your secret anymore, could you?
I shouldn't have listened to Aunt Xiang in the first place and resorted to delaying tactics.
You should just tell Grandma and let her handle that family.
She loves herself so much, she'll probably try to protect herself!
Besides, it's not entirely my fault in this kind of situation.
If things had been discussed openly and resolved at the time, I wouldn't have had to come to this poor, remote rural area!
More importantly, if his grandmother found out about this, he would be accused of fleeing from justice.
I can forget about ever getting ahead from my grandmother in this lifetime.
She hates deserters the most.
Thinking of this, Fifth Strong's anger towards Ah Xiang suddenly surged to its peak.
She even harbored some resentment towards Zhang Jun.
This person has a close relationship with Aunt Xiang.
Zhang Jun felt the gaze of the fifth strongest player and obediently looked over.
In that instant, the Fifth Strong man shed the coldness in his eyes and replaced it with a nonchalant attitude.
Seeing that Fifth Strong was not acting strangely, Zhang Jun advised, "Qiangzi, why don't we go back first? We're not short of a few bucks. Why bother with all this effort? It's thankless work."
The fifth strongest didn't want to go back; he hadn't achieved his goal, so why should he go back?
So he frowned, and delivered a passionate speech right there in the courtyard where people were coming and going: "What am I saying? We are educated youth, and I have to take care of these kinds of injustices."
They're being unfair, and now they won't even let me report it. Besides, it's not like it's a trivial matter. This is a matter of principle; this is about forming cliques!
No sooner had the words been spoken than a round of loud applause rang out, followed by a deep and powerful voice: "Well said! This is what educated youth should be like! Comrade Fifth, it's only been a few days, but you've made great progress! I admire you!"
The fifth strongest person turned around when they heard the noise.
Upon seeing Secretary Xiao, he got off his bicycle and handed it over to the staff in the courtyard.
I'm clapping myself rhythmically, one clap at a time.
The applause was deep and powerful.
Like the resounding war drums, the fifth strongest team is once again being challenged.
Judging from his attitude, he must have been keeping things quite well hidden. It seems I was just being paranoid!
The change in the attitude of those people at the brigade headquarters towards him was probably just because of his relationship with Su Jiaqi!
Finally relieved, the fifth-ranked candidate also felt comfortable being polite to Secretary Xiao and his uncle: "Secretary Xiao, you flatter me. I just feel that as educated youth, if we let these injustices go unpunished, we would be betraying our oath and our honor!"
